- 9 - EASTERN REGION OIL SPILL DISASTER CONTINGENCY PLAN (EROS – DCP) Introduction 1.1. The Indian Ocean is closed by landmass on the north, but towards the east and west, there are entries and exists through very narrow restricted water, namely, the Gulf of Aden and Straits of Malacca. Almost all ship- borne movements from east to west and vice versa must therefore transit across the Indian Ocean. As many as 200 ships pass through these waters every day, carrying over 90% of world trade, including oil. Further the economic status of India has been considerably enhanced with major oil exploration, production and refining facilities within the EEZ, making it highly desirable to cater for the contingency of major oil spill within the EEZ. 1.2. The Eastern Coast supports a number of coral reefs, marine like. Mangroves forests and variety of fish on the eastern sea board which need to be protected against the detrimental effects of oil pollution. The coastal environment is a complex, sensitive and dynamic Eco-system, which demands an appropriate, compatibility and effective response in the event of an oil spill. Scope 1.3. To combat an oil spill in the Bay of Bengal, it is desirable to co-ordinate pollution response activities amongst various government and non-government agencies. The contingency plan is intended to identify the capabilities and resources in order to establish an organizational structure to combat marine pollution, so that focal points and lead agencies are clearly identified for an appropriate and affect the pollution control response. 1.4. The Eastern Regional Headquarters has been vested with the role and responsibility to prepare for combating a major oil spill up to 10,000 tonnes in her maritime area. Any requirement of combating a major oil spill above 10,000 tonnes would be undertaken by consolidating all the available resources and equipment from other Regions. 1.5. The EROS-DCP also provides the frame work for co-coordinated integrated response by various government agencies that are functionally responsible for monitoring, control and combating marine pollution by spillage of oil around their areas of operation. However, the Coast Guard shall remain as the Central Cocoordinating Authority in combating oil pollution during major oil spills.
